Onn Releases Budget Google Home Camera for $35 with Gemini Support

Onn, known for its budget-friendly devices for the Google ecosystem, has released a new surveillance camera compatible with Google Home. The Onn Outdoor Camera Plug-In is priced at $35, significantly cheaper than alternatives like the Google Nest Cam, which starts at $99.

The new model supports 1080p resolution, night vision, two-way audio, and motion alerts. The camera works both indoors and outdoors, features weather resistance, and has a 130.5-degree field of view. It connects to Wi-Fi on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies and integrates with Google Home for voice control.

In the basic version, users get a three-hour event snapshot archive. For advanced features such as facial recognition, smart alerts for animals and vehicles, and video archive search via Gemini, a Google Home paid subscription is required. The maximum event storage reaches 60 days, while continuous recording is available for up to 10 days with the premium plan.

Onn has established itself in the market for affordable Google-compatible devices, offering alternatives to Google’s pricier products, including streaming sticks and set-top boxes. The new camera continues this strategy, providing users with advanced smart home features at a minimal cost.
